When Zhao Chen Meets Daoist Qingyun! The True Dragon Tournament Begins!

That's right!

It is the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains.

As a qualified and experienced freeloader, Zhao Chen has a very good habit: to read more books. After arriving in the Immortal Realm and experiencing the Heaven Abyss God Mountain, Zhao Chen worked while reading.

He learned things that many people didn't know. Over sixty years, he learned about many legends and stories of the immortal realm, as well as many secret realms, large and small.

Zhao Chen also kept the legend of the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains firmly in his heart.

This is the sacred mountain that even the gods dream of!

At this moment, Zhao Chen was filled with anticipation and his heart was pounding with excitement.

"This time, one scoop is enough."

Zhao Chen clenched his fists, thinking to himself.

He usually says, "Of all the waters in the world, I only take a sip," which is just polite talk. But things are different now. With any treasure from the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, Zhao Chen feels like he'll be set for life.

From now on, won't I be able to do whatever I want in the Immortal Realm?

Thinking about this, Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel extremely excited.

Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains.

Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains.

If I'm the first to find it, I can just grab any treasure and become rich.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared not far away, causing Zhao Chen's expression to change instantly.

Who?

Zhao Chen wanted to speak, but his years of experience getting things for free told him that if he asked anyone, he might die on the spot the next second. So he lay on the ground, holding his breath and trying not to be discovered.

But soon, a voice rang out.

"Zhao Chen?"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Chen's expression changed. He looked up and saw a face that seemed both familiar and unfamiliar.

This was a young man, very handsome and refined, wearing a Daoist robe with a few leaves hanging on his body.

Who is this?

Zhao Chen was stunned. He felt that the other person was somewhat familiar, but he didn't know who it was, which left him a little confused.

So, gritting his teeth, Zhao Chen took a deep breath and looked at the other person.

"Aba~ Aba~ Aba!"

Zhao Chen spoke, appearing somewhat simple-minded in the moonlight.

Snap!

The next moment, the latter raised his hand and slapped Zhao Chen across the face, then said calmly, "Zhao Chen, don't play these tricks on me. I am your Qingyun Holy Lord!"

The latter spoke up, immediately recognizing Zhao Chen's trick and speaking directly.

Ha?

Qingyun Daoist?

Qingyun Holy Lord?

In an instant, Zhao Chen was shocked. He didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here.

Moreover, he is Qingyun Daoist.

Hiss!

In an instant, Zhao Chen stood up and looked at Qingyun Daoist, saying involuntarily, "Qingyun Holy Lord, how did you become so handsome? It seems the rumors in the Lower Realm are true. They say that when you were young, you were handsome, dashing, and debonair."

Zhao Chen stood up. Since they were acquaintances, there was no need for him to pretend anymore. As for being slapped, Zhao Chen didn't think much of it. It wasn't like he hadn't been hit before. What was a mere slap?

"Isn't that obvious? If I weren't handsome, would I have become the Qingyun Holy Lord? What are you doing sneaking around here? Tell me, have you found some treasure again?"

Qingyun Daoist spoke with utmost seriousness, staring intently at Zhao Chen.

"No, Qingyun Holy Lord, look at my poor appearance, how could I have found a treasure? Do you want a low-grade immortal artifact? I'll give it to you."

Zhao Chen took out a low-grade immortal artifact flying sword and handed it to the Qingyun Holy Lord.

However, Qingyun Daoist glanced at the flying sword, then said with a calm smile, "Zhao Chen, although I am not very familiar with you, I have heard some of your deeds. You are the kind of person who doesn't get up early for nothing. You appearing here in the middle of the night, I don't believe you don't have something good to offer. Zhao Chen, I won't cheat you, how about we split it 50/50?"

Qingyun Daoist didn't believe Zhao Chen's words at all. Especially since Zhao Chen was like this, the more he denied it, the more Qingyun Daoist felt that this guy was up to something.

"Qingyun Holy Lord, you've really put me in a difficult position. I really don't know anything about this treasure. Qingyun Holy Lord, you have to believe me."

Zhao Chen immediately put on a mournful face and refused to admit it no matter what.

"Fine, you won't tell me, huh? Fine, I'll just stay here and wait it out with you, and see who has more time."

Qingyun Daoist wasn't afraid of Zhao Chen's shamelessness. They would just wait it out here. Anyway, he was almost a Golden Immortal, and he didn't believe he couldn't wear Zhao Chen down.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen fell silent.

One hour later.

Finally, Zhao Chen spoke up.

"Qingyun Holy Lord, please believe me! I truly didn't know there were treasures there. If I had known, I would have told you! Really!"

Zhao Chen said with a mournful expression.

"Two-eight, you take eight and I take two, clear division of labor. You know, even if you have treasures, wouldn't you be in trouble if you encounter danger? Taking me along is different, at least you have the ability to protect yourself."

Qingyun Daoist spoke with utmost seriousness, and even provided a detailed analysis for Zhao Chen.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen was stunned. He pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was indeed true.

If I, a mere celestial being, were to venture to the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains and encounter danger, wouldn't I be doomed? Having someone else around is quite nice, isn't it?

Moreover, Qingyun Daoist is Lu Changsheng's master and possesses extraordinary luck. If he were in real danger, wouldn't Lu Changsheng step in to save him?

The most important thing is, an 80/20 split? If you take 80% and the other party takes 20%, there's not much of a problem.

The more Zhao Chen thought about it, the more he felt it was pretty good.

But the next moment.

Bang!

Before Zhao Chen could react, Qingyun Daoist's figure appeared.

"Well, you little bastard, you really have some treasure?"

The voice of Qingyun Daoist rang out, leaving Zhao Chen bewildered.

Qingyun Daoist was furious. In fact, he said all this to test whether this guy knew the whereabouts of the treasure.

Surprisingly, it actually exists?

Therefore, Qingyun Daoist was furious and kicked Zhao Chen in the face.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Qingyun Holy Lord! Holy Lord, stop hitting me! I was wrong! I was wrong!"

After receiving a good beating, Zhao Chen had some bruises on his face. He looked at Qingyun Daoist with endless emotion.

Sure enough, experience counts, and he was tricked without even realizing it, which made him really uncomfortable.

"Qingyun Holy Lord, I won't say much, just split it 30/70! Otherwise, I won't do it. Even if you spend a thousand or ten thousand years here, even if you die, I won't take you with me."

Now that his secret was out, Zhao Chen decided to lay his cards on the table: a 30/70 split was his bottom line.

"Seven-thirds split? Do you think I, Qingyun, am a beggar? Even if I agreed, my disciple wouldn't. It should be fifty-fifty, half for each of us."

"I am arrogant," said the Qingyun Daoist.

"Damn it, Holy Lord, you've gone too far! You do nothing and expect to get half of it for free? To be honest, if it were you, would you share half with me if you encountered something this good?"

Zhao Chen was annoyed. "Just for a meeting, you want to split it in half? That's a bit unseemly," he said earnestly, trying to put himself in their shoes.

However, Qingyun Daoist immediately spoke up.

"I'll give it to you. Don't just say half, I'll give you 70%. Will you give me 70%?"

Qingyun Daoist answered very seriously.

Hiss!

Zhao Chen gasped.

That old bastard is truly shameless; how could he say such shameless things?

"Qingyun Holy Lord, are you saying you're going to take me for granted?"

Zhao Chen took a deep breath and asked this question.

"Don't speak so harshly. What do you mean by 'I've got you figured out'? Do you even know what a win-win situation means?"

Qingyun Daoist wanted to touch his beard, but remembering that he no longer had one, he didn't. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Zhao Chen, saying this.

Good! Good! Good!

You old codger, I'll remember this grudge for now.

Zhao Chen thought to himself, then outwardly he took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, it has to be 40/60, otherwise we won't cooperate, 50/50 is impossible."

Zhao Chen said earnestly.

After all, he could have taken this all by himself, but suddenly Qingyun Daoist appeared and wanted to split it 50/50? Isn't that like a beggar trying to steal meat from a beggar's bowl?

Zhao Chen would never agree to that, even if it meant his death.

"Four or six?"

Qingyun Daoist frowned. To be honest, he would be willing to accept even a 30% chance of encountering such a great fortuitous opportunity out of nowhere. He would be willing to accept a 30% chance for anyone else, but he was embarrassed to accept it for Zhao Chen.

After only glancing at Zhao Chen's expression, Qingyun Daoist didn't waste any more words.

"Alright, what I, Qingyun Daoist, like most is cooperation and win-win. 46 it is then."

Qingyun Daoist agreed.

"No, you have to swear a solemn oath!"

Zhao Chen said earnestly.

A poisonous oath?

Qingyun Daoist frowned, then said, "So be it, a poisonous oath."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Chen immediately said, "Make your disciple swear a solemn oath. If he breaks the oath, may your disciple Lu Changsheng be struck by lightning."

Zhao Chen said this.

This time, Qingyun Daoist objected. Why swear a poisonous oath on his own disciple?

"You don't trust me, Qing?"

Qingyun Daoist said with some displeasure.

"I don't believe it!"

Zhao Chen said it very directly.

"Fine! You win!" Qingyun Daoist waved his sleeve, then angrily swore a poisonous oath, abandoning the idea of turning against him.

After the solemn oath was sworn.

Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Qingyun Daoist with a smile and said, "Qingyun Holy Lord, what brings you here?"

"Let's talk as we walk." Qingyun Daoist was a little unhappy, but considering that he could still get 40%, he wasn't too upset. He just planned to talk as they walked, so as not to waste time.

Zhao Chen nodded and began to lead the way, while Qingyun Daoist spoke up.

"I went out to travel and unexpectedly stumbled into a secret realm, triggered a teleportation array, and then I appeared here. By the way, what is this place?"

Qingyun Daoist was speechless. He had gone out to train for the next ten-year war and accidentally entered a secret realm. He was initially pleased with himself, but unexpectedly, he accidentally triggered a teleportation array and ended up here.

I never expected to run into Zhao Chen so soon after arriving. I'm really lucky.

However, while Qingyun Daoist was happy, Zhao Chen was extremely depressed.

"By the way, has he achieved immortality and ascended to heaven yet?"

Finally, Qingyun Daoist couldn't help but ask this question.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen was taken aback, then said, "Qingyun Holy Lord, you don't know yet? Senior Brother Changsheng has already taken off in the Immortal Realm. Who in the Immortal Realm doesn't know him now?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyun Daoist became excited.

"Really?"

"Yes, you don't know, Senior Brother Changsheng has been doing incredibly well lately. Even the gods have to lower their heads when they see him. Tsk tsk, to be honest, Qingyun Holy Lord, the luckiest thing you've ever done in your life is taking Senior Brother Changsheng as your disciple."

Zhao Chen said earnestly.

"Good! Good! Good! As expected of my disciple! I told you, if he could achieve immortality and ascend to heaven, he would surely become famous throughout the world! Hahahaha, hahahahaha!"

Qingyun Daoist was indeed extremely happy. His greatest concern was for Lu Changsheng, and now that he knew Lu Changsheng was doing so well, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Qingyun Holy Lord, to be honest, why are you still going to come with me to search for treasures? Hurry up and go find your disciple. Senior Brother Changsheng has everything he wants. Golden Immortal Artifact and Immortal Lord Artifact are all just things he talks about. Do you know what Senior Brother Changsheng said to me?"

Zhao Chen said this.

"What did you say?"

Qingyun Daoist became curious.

"Senior Brother Changsheng said that what he misses most right now is you, and our friends in the Lower Realm. He said that he has achieved great success and has everything he could ever want."

"As long as they're friends, I'll give them an Immortal Venerable Artifact when we meet. If we're closer, I'll give them Immortal Saint Artifact directly. If we're even closer, I'll just send them Immortal King Artifact in a flash."

"Furthermore, Senior Brother Changsheng said that he would give Immortal Saint Artifact to those who betrayed him. If they followed him, Immortal King Artifact and Immortal Emperor Artifact would be a piece of cake for them."

"So, I'm telling you, Qingyun Holy Lord, you should hurry up and go find Senior Brother Changsheng. Your days of living the high life are coming. What can you possibly get by sticking with a poor wretch like me?"

Zhao Chen started talking nonsense in an attempt to dissuade the Qingyun Holy Lord from his idea.

However, the Qingyun Holy Lord said with a smile, "Good, good, good, very good. But as Changsheng's master, how could I possibly take his things? I want to give him treasures. Come on, come on, when we meet a treasure that is suitable for my disciple, you can't compete with me for it. We can split it 40/60, but I didn't say that you have priority."

Zhao Chen was immediately annoyed by what the Qingyun Holy Lord said.

And so, a full hour passed.

Finally, Zhao Chen stopped.

He took out a roll of parchment and examined it carefully. After a while, he took twenty steps back, then ten steps back, and then ten steps to the left.

Finally, a stone tablet, almost buried in dust, appeared at his feet.

"Found it!"

Zhao Chen took a deep breath, then appeared somewhat excited.

The Qingyun Daoist, standing to the side, also seemed somewhat excited.

Although he didn't know what it was, it was obviously something good, otherwise this guy wouldn't have been so stubborn, refusing to say anything even after being beaten up.

"Qingyun Daoist, I need to recite the divine incantation to open the treasure, please move aside."

Zhao Chen spoke.

Qingyun Daoist was silent for a moment, then took a few steps back, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen sat cross-legged on the altar.

With the five hearts facing upwards, he then slowly uttered a sound.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star!"

"The sky is full of little stars!"

A strange sound rang out, like a song, breaking the silence of the grassland. Although he felt there was nothing wrong, Qingyun Daoist inexplicably felt that Zhao Chen was playing a trick on him.

However, the next moment.

The sky was filled with stars, which burst forth with boundless light, radiating a terrifying Star Power that bathed Zhao Chen and Qingyun Daoist.

Soon, the two figures disappeared.

Meanwhile.

Heaven Star Ancient City.

Inside Drunken Immortal Tavern.

It was almost dawn.

A voice suddenly rang out.

Da da da!

Da da da!

"Excuse me, is this Fragrance Pavilion? Is there anyone kind enough to take me Fragrance Pavilion? Even if you can't, could you at least give me a meal? I've been starving all day. Please, kind sir, I am Beidou Jiantian, I'm so hungry~~~"
